You mean your key. No, it isnt.
You can get your key with the following script:
default
{
touch_start(integer total)
{
llSay(0,(string)llDetectedKey(total - 1));
}
}

Forgive my noobishness Eggy, but in that example (assuming only one person touched the object) would total be equal to 1?
Also, why is it llDetectedKey(total -1), I've used llDetectedKey before but with a 0 as the argument. What is the significance of total-1?
Or am I missing something simple?

I personally always use 0.
If I'm just going to randomly pick one of the detected items, why is the last any better than the first? Why is a math operation better than no operation, and yes I'm lazy, why is 9 characters better than 0?

soo. llDetectedKey(total - 1) returns the same as llDetectedKey(0)?
Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, I'm still very new to this and having a hard time understand how passign to different variables to the same functions yields identical results.

Chase: touch, sensor, and collision events get a "total number" passed to them. This is an upper limit that you can use as an index for the llDetectedBlah() functions.
Since it is zero-based, when you have a total of 3 people detected, you can use indices 0, 1, and 2. As you can see, the last index is always one less than the total, hence the total - 1.
When you are expecting only one person to be using the script, you can either assume that said person was the first one to touch the object, numbered 0, or the last one to touch the object, numbered total - 1.
They are fairly equivalent though. If only one person is touching the object, total == 1, and total - 1 == 0.

"I see!", said the blind man to the deaf child. "It's all coming back to me!", as he was pissing in the wind |
